AT the recent ex animation nv
Gov. Gordon into the charges OF
cruelty aud inhuman treatment of
the poor unfortunate .onvicts. he
says "that after carefully examining
the numerous charges made he
finds:
First; That the evidence shows that
the officers and members of the lease
companies have personally Inflicted n
cruelty upon the convicts; that these
officers and members have in right
spirit and disposition desired and en-,
deavored to protect the health of the
cnnvicts and to pr wide for their necessa
~ shelter and the requisite food, cloth
ing and medical attendance But the ev
. dence also shows that they have no
exercised the personal supervision over
the convicts at all the camps which the
law contempates and requires.
Second: The evidence shows that
some of the agents and subordinates
of the said leased companies have
been guilty OF cruelty consisting
Of excessive whipping. and some
cases of unreasonable and exces-
sive labor. 1t is held that at least
four cases of excessive whipping are
clearly established by the evidence;
aud while the exact number of cases
where convicts have been overworked
cannot clearly be determined, the
evidence tisiSes the Fix cutive that
Sin some instances the subordinate agents
of these companies have exacted labor
of the convicts in excess OF what wa>
humane, reasonable and proper.
Admitting that "the officers and
members of the lease companies
have personally inflicted no cruelty
upon the convicts." And no one had
ever charged these gentlemen thus.
But continues the Governor they
have not exercised the personal su-
peryisioE over the convirts ut all
the camps that the laws require
them to do" Ifthat is true and we
believe there can be no doubt of it
then they are as equally as gnilfv
OF these inhuman acts as the blood
thirsty demon who commits them
In fact they are in the eyes Of the
public an accessory after the fact.
aud the plea that the Governor
makes that they have'n not person.
ally inflicted cruelty upon the on
victs does not relieve these gel tie
men from the charges but make
them par ticeps criminis in the
crime con mitted. We are pleased
80 far with the work of the Govern.
or and we be ieve he is honest in
his intentr rs to reform the hellsh
and barb rOas convict system Of

ing fine + $500 on the lessees as

Among the many advantages Of the

simple, durable and complete shuttle ever
made, simplicity in threading being an es-
pecial feature The shuttle tension is SO
arranged that you can increase il or de-

All wearing parts Of the White are made

to long usage can be easily taken up, thus
avoiding the delay and expense in duplica-

Two TESTS OF DEATH.-There are
many persons haunted with the fear
of being buried alive, and many be-
lieve that such things do often happen.
A celebrated English NJ. d. gives the
following test: Have the room in
which the corpse lies perfectly dark
have bright light brought and TAX
ing the hand Of the corpse hold it
near the light and look through it.
If the hand has the least pink look
like blood there is surely life, but if
the hand has the look of clay or gray
ish look and you cannot see through
it death has taken place. Another
test is to inject a drop of ammonia be-
meath the skin, if death has taken
place it will have no effect, but if
there is life a small red spot will ap-
pear at the place Of injection. Surely
these tests are worth remembering

THE EDITOR AND HIS SoN.-I have
an acquaintance who assists in edit.
ing morning paper, but he does not
believe in allowing his children to
utterly forget him. He does not want
his boys to think they are orphans
Just because he is not always at home.
He Is man of very strong will aud
a strict disciplinarian. So be gets a
holiday every two weeks in order to
20 home and do up his Furnishing.
One time he found that his eldest
or Oldest son-I do not know which.
because Tam away fr6n home with
out my ibrary-had violated the
rules Of the house in a sad manner.
As near as am able to come at
the facts, the boy had taken a quart
of corn and sewed a long thread
through each kernel, showing great
patience and perseverance, in so doing.
He had then tied the ends of the
threads all together in one knot aud
scattered the corn where large flock
of geese had been in the habit of pool
ing ard associating for mutual profit
and improvement.
A man who came along that way
about dusk said he saw about thirty
geese standing around in a circle
looking reproachfully at each other
and trying to agree on some method
by which they could all go home to-
gether without turning part of their
crowd wrong side out, while behind
a high board fence there was a boy
who seemed to be enjoying himself in
a small way.
The incident was reported to the
boys father, who came home and
placed his son under a dry goods box
In the cellar, after which he piled
three or four hundred pounds of coal
on top of the inverted box. He then
made few remarks for the bows
good, which were followed by the
smothered remark "Rats !" from the
inside of the box After ordering
that the box should not be disturbed
until his return, my friend put on his
coat and went back to his work.
This was just as the returns began
to return in the autumn of "S4. Ny
friend did not go home for two weeks
and forgot all about the boy until it
came do up his punishment for the
fortnight.
When the truth flashed over him
he was filled with the keenest re-
morse, and went home as soon as he
had sent in the last proof but when
he went down the cellar he found the
box empty and the following note
written on it with a pencil
Dear Paw do not weep for me
